The StudioLive 32.4.2AI uses Universal Control v3.0 to connect to a computer. 

To connect the StudioLive to a computer for recording/control purposes, the computer must have a valid firewire port or one that can be used with an adaptor. USB to Firewire adaptors are not supported and in general do not work for audio equipment. If you are buying a new computer the following articles will be helpful.
